The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` back into history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving on, there are some recipe books from the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, due to better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
